Programmatically generating menus is a difficult concept at first because it seems simple enough just to hardcode your menu into a component. However, making a reusable and data agnostic menu component is really easy and can travel with you from project to project. Here, I want to outline two approaches to generating menus from your data. The first involves defining menu items in markdown frontmatter, which can be useful when designing sites for folks less familiar with javascript or coding more generally. The second is an iteration on the current Gatsby documentation that skips using GraphQL fragments in favor of a meta config file.
